What happened yesterday
Is in the past, 
Gone away.

Wet soaking rain;
Bleak news today

Exquisite creations;

Harsh heatwave irrigates

Makes us sit and watch and wait
Getting less than what we want
Is not what we should take

Friends hug and make toasts.
Big bands play loud songs.
Loud parties get wild.
Fireworks fill skies
Confetti is thrown.

On New Years’ Day,

For a transience of time,
And then withdraw,

Look at this irony. Stroke of fate
So cruel that I can’t breathe so straight!
Curfew’s cleansed city’s air,
Pollution fairly fair,
Yet, my mask blockades both fresh-air gates!
Locked...
